About this property

4-2 Lakefront home on Crystal Lake- fish off the dock, kayak, enjoy back porch!

Crystal Lake is a premier spring fed lake in north central Florida that is both tranquil and full of activity. This home is directly on the lake with a beautiful beach entry. Swim, kayak, fish, simply relax on the sandy beach. The activities are endless. If you prefer tranquility, pick your favorite book and sit on the expansive back porch overlooking the lake, or enjoy the gazebo by the water. The dock is perfect for sunbathing, fishing, or just relaxing on the water.

This lake home has been extensively remodeled and ready for guests who will love it and care for it as much as we do. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an expansive back porch. There is a full kitchen with everything you need to prepare your meals at home. We do not offer an outdoor grill due to liability. We must insist no smoking or vaping of any substances on our property and due to significant allergies in my children, no animals of any type for any reason can be permitted on our property and in our home as we use the property as well. We also do not allow parties on the property. Our neighbors are wonderful and we want to make sure our guests are respectful. Please note, the yard/grass has sand spurs so you must wear shoes when walking through the grass.

Some friends and I spent several days here, and it was absolutely wonderful. Shortly after we checked in, the host reached out to ask if there was anything we needed to make our stay better — and honestly, there wasn’t. Everything was already perfect.We were there for a planned motorcycle trip, and it was incredibly relaxing to come back at the end of each day and unwind on the deck while taking in the view. Mornings were just as enjoyable — the layout of the home made it easy for all of us to sit together with coffee while overlooking the lake in the cooler morning air.The home is clearly designed for gathering and entertaining. From the large dining room table, to the L-shaped couch, to the thoughtfully arranged seating in the main living area, it was perfect for catching up, relaxing, and spending time together. The house was fully furnished with everything we needed and more.The location is ideal — peaceful and private, yet close enough to town that we could head out for dinner with just a 10-minute drive. It truly felt like a hidden treasure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would absolutely come back.

My family and I love the lake house, and love hosting guests. It is our home away from home. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The back porch is our absolute favorite. You can sit outside and enjoy a book, a glass of tea, and watch the boats go by. It’s wonderful in the evening as well, and no bugs since it is screened in!

What makes this property unique

This is truly your home away from home. It is fully equipped, private, and peaceful. We hope you enjoy.
